Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    The price of rice, as well as wheat, have been rising this year.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words. [Advanced]
    Solution
    Out of the four options, option D is correct. When the subject is separated from the verb by the word 'as well as', singular verb is used if the subject is singular. Here, 'rice' and 'wheat' are uncountable nouns. Uncountable nouns are in singular form and always take a singular verb. 'Were' and 'are' are plural verbs hence, options B and C are incorrect according to the rule. 'Has been' is a singular verb thus, option D is correct. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Painting, as well as dance, were the activities she loved the most.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word. [Basic]
    Solution
    Out of the four options, option D is correct. When the subject is separated from the verb by the word 'as well as', singular verb is used if the subject is singular. 'Dance' and 'painting' are singular subjects thus, 'was the activity' is the right answer. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
    The President, with his board of advisors, is to be at the meeting. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    Out of the four options, option A is correct. When the subject is separated from the verb by the word 'with', singular verb is used if the subject is singular. Here, 'President' and 'Board of advisors' are singular subjects thus singular verb 'is' should be used. 'Board' is a singular noun. 'Were' and 'Are' takes plural subject. Thus options B, C and D are incorrect. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal auxiliary verb:
    I ____ reach home in time before the sun sets. 
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option C.
    MUST is used to express compulsion.
    In the given sentence, it compulsory for the speaker to reach home before the sun sets.
    Thus MUST is the correct answer.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    NEED also means compulsory, but it is incorrect in the given sentence.
    DARE means to challenge something, there is no such meaning intended in the given sentence.
    MAY expresses possibility.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    In the end, he found out that neither the house nor the factory were bequeathed to him in his uncle's will.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word. [Advanced]
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Replace the underlined words with the most suitable option:

    Each of the trees have flowered with pink blossoms.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'each' is used as an indefinite pronoun. Indefinite pronouns do not refer to a specific or definite person or thing. As the subject of a verb, an indefinite pronoun is usually singular, and the form of an indefinite pronoun isn’t affected by gender or person.
    Option A is the correct answer because the verb 'have' is used with a plural subject or noun. Since 'each' is singular, 'has' is the correct verb to be used with it.
    Options B, C and D are incorrect because the verbs 'have' and 'are' are used with plural subjects or nouns and not with a singular subject like 'each'. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

    Each of these qualities is found in a just judge.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'each' is used as an indefinite pronoun. Indefinite pronouns do not refer to a specific or definite person or thing. As the subject of a verb, an indefinite pronoun is usually singular, and the form of an indefinite pronoun isn’t affected by gender or person.
    Option D is the correct answer because the singular verb 'is' agrees with the singular subject 'each'. 
    Options A, B and C are  incorrect because the verbs 'are' and 'have' are used with plural subjects or nouns. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Neither reward nor punishment seem to make him respond.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word. [Basic]
    Solution
    The correct answer is option C. The rule is when two singular nouns are connected by nor, they take a singular verb. Here, 'reward' and 'punishment' refers to singular noun thus 'seems' is the correct verb to be used. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

    Neither I nor you are to go on the expedition.
    Solution
    The subject-verb agreement rule for 'either...or' and 'neither... nor' says that the verb will agree with the subject that is closest to it. The proximity of the subject to the verb is the only thing that matters when it's a question of 'either...or' or 'neither ...nor'.
    Since the verb 'are' agrees with the subject 'you', the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any change. 
    Options A, B and C are incorrect because the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any change. Also, in standard English we don't use 'you am' or 'you is'. The given sentence is in the simple present tense and 'will be' is used for the future continuous tense 

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Either the cat or the bird have entered the kitchen.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word. [Basic]
    Solution
    The correct answer is option A. The rule is when two singular nouns are connected by or, they take a singular verb. Here, 'cat' and 'bird' refers to singular noun thus 'has entered' is the correct verb to be used.
